It's very difficult to tell from pictures. You really need them in the hand to appreciate the difference. I don't have one of the new flat-top .44Spl's but I do have an Old Model that was converted to .44Spl by Jim Stroh. Due to its light aluminum XR3 grip frame, the difference is almost astronomical. The little .44Spl weighs 37oz versus 43-45oz for a Super the same length. Folks will say that 6-8oz doesn't amount to much but that's a difference of 16-22% hanging in your hand. It's a truly wonderful combination that will do 99% of what the shooter/hunter/outdoorsman needs doing.
They're comparable in size to the Colt SAA. This one a USFA replica .38Spl.
